Fat Quarter Tote Bag
#1
I made this tote using 5 fat quarters and an extra piece of fabric for the straps. You will have strips left for a second tote. This was a "create as you go" project using a QAYG method. I think it turned out pretty nice but there are a few things I will do to improve it the next time. The recipient was really thrilled with it so that's what counts. The pocket in the lining was a top of a sheet leftover from some curtains I made for someone years ago. You can see the decorative satin trim. Didn't have enough to do a pocket on the other side.

The fabrics were a bundle from Michael's that were on sale for $2.29. Not the best of quality but then if the bag is really used by the end of summer it will probably need replaced anyway. Not sure what it would wash up like.
